🚨New NBER working paper alert 🚨
🤔2021–2024 was the worst U.S. inflation in four decades. The question: Did voters react to the rising prices, or to the shrinking paychecks?
😱We approached this paper with one major surprise: there is no official measure of inflation at the county level in the U.S.
🌟To study the relationship between inflation and electoral outcomes during, we first had to construct local inflation measures using county-level data on family budget costs and incomes.
The answer? -> Check it out! 👇

Shareen Joshi writes why India won’t lower its tariffs, even under Trump’s pressure.
As India faces pressure to reduce tariffs, the political reality is clear: dismantling its protectionist structure risks political survival. With a dual constituency of farmers and industrialists, any significant reform would challenge the very foundation of India's political landscape. #IndiasWorld #TradePolicy @shareenjoshi

I am really happy about this paper. Through the process of writing it, we learned something fundamental about the workhorse model of labor market frictions - not just discovering normative properties (which, of course, is important), but also finding out how to analyze them.
On-the-job search leads to overvaluation of jobs, especially at the top of the job ladder, resulting in excess vacancy creation in the canonical search and matching model, from Masao Fukui and @ToshiMukoyama nber.org/papers/w33910

WaPo op-ed supports Carbon Tariffs for three reasons (and my rebuttals):
1. Revenue (that's all tariffs, not just carbon tariffs)
2. Protect US industry (again, all tariffs)
3. The US has no domestic carbon price (huh?)
